I hoped this book would reprint some of the Sotheby's photographs of the 2003 auction of Jacqueline Onassis' possessions, but instead it is a rehash of familiar photographs from the White House interiors. Very disappointing, given the "auction of the century" blurb. A waste of money if you're at all familiar with the subject.

Essential Jackie
If you are a fan of the late former First Lady, then this book is must. It shows her consistent, and calssic taste in furniture, artwork, and objects, revealing much of her well-formed asthete. Be it a drawing by Fragonard, a delicate armchir, or a pastel drawing of her daughter Caroline, the reader sees several sides of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy - impish, romantic, devoted mother, athlete, and equestrienne!
